Athlete To Athlete operates a platform connecting youth athletes with Division 1 college athlete mentors for weekly one-on-one video mentoring sessions. The company leverages recent NCAA rule changes allowing athletes to earn from their name, image, and likeness (NIL) to compensate mentors, creating a sustainable model that benefits both experienced athletes and those seeking guidance.
The platform currently works with over 20,000 Division 1 athlete mentors across more than 125 universities, serving over 10,000 families. Mentors help young athletes develop sport-specific skills, build confidence, and learn mental resilience strategies through structured peer-to-peer guidance rather than traditional coaching or parental advice.
Founded by Anthony Waller as a UCLA student, the company positions itself as the world's largest network of college athlete mentors. Its core appeal rests on connecting youth athletes with mentors who have navigated similar athletic and competitive challenges, offering advice grounded in recent first-hand experience at the college level.
